Time to Get Your Seeds Ready for Spring with DealDash

March 20th marks the start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and even if it doesn’t seem like it, summer will be here before we know it. Do you garden? If not, maybe it’s about time you give it a try. March is right around the corner, so right now would be a really good time to start growing plants from seed!
Remember your New Year’s Resolution to get healthy, maybe lose a few unwanted lbs, or even save money? The very best way to get your fresh veggies would be to plant them by seed.
About.com offers a really good chart with expected last frost dates and a zip code/zone lookup system to find out when you should start your seeds:

But did you know that starting seeds in a greenhouse will give you the most protection from frost, and control over your plants?
A greenhouse will allow you to plant a variety of fresh fruits and veggies by starting them by seed and then later transplanting them to garden soil beds.

One greenthumb in Montana starts her seeds in a greenhouse beginning in mid-February and plants lettuce, mesclun, spinach, broccoli, green onions, parsley, pansies, alpine strawberries, broccoli and green onions! Then in mid-March she plants tomatoes, peppers, basil, garrot seeds in ground beds – then later transplants lettuces to windowboxes.

DealDash Features Explained: Who's On Their Limit?

On every penny auction site there are bidders who will always seem to win all of the items they start bidding in.
You’ll know these bidders when you see them. They’re powerbidders, and as we told you in our Powerbidder’s Strategy to Winning DealDash Auction Series (See The Powerbidder’s Strategy to Winning DealDash Auctions Part 1 of 3; T he Powerbidder’s Strategy to Winning DealDash Auctions Part 2 of 3; The Powerbidder’s Strategy to Winning DealDash Auctions Part 3 of 3.) These powerbidders are ruthless, and well, let’s face it – unless you want to spend all of your bids and buy it now (you will get your bids back with buy it now), it’s not always smart to bid against them.
A good thing about DealDash is that there are win limits in place to keep bidding fair.
Don’t like win limits?
Well think about it this way: Would you ever be able to win anything if the powerbidders were able to win everything?
DealDash’s Win Limits Explained
Each bidder can only win a set number of items each week.
The limits are there to ensure that everyone can win the same amount of items.
Each user can win up to 6 items valued at less than $200, and 3 items valued more than $200 per week.
The item’s price is stated as the Buy it now/MSRP price on each auction.
Once you’re logged in you can track how many items you’ve won each week by looking at the winning limit slots. This can be found next to your bid amount on the top right-hand corner of DealDash.com:

Once you have reached your win limits, the site will not let you bid on more items. Again, no more than 6 items valued under $200, and no more than 3 over $200.
Win limits are reset first thing in the morning on the day of the week you registered. So if you registered on Saturday the win limits should reset at 12am Saturday morning.
Did you know that DealDash lets you see who is on their win limit each week?
How to find out who is on their win limit:
1. Click on the “My Dashboard” link right underneath the win limit meter and bids left section on the top right corner of the homepage:
2. On the left-hand side click on the link “Who’s on their limit”
3. Now you will see a page with a list of users who have won the maximum number of wins for the week. Notice how their names are shaded? In order to see who is on their limit you have to click “Show me the list!”
To see the list you will have to spend 1 bid.
You will be able to see an updated list for the next 12 hours.

Check it out!

Happy New Year from DealDashTips!

Happy New Year DealDash bidders! DealDash?
The blog over on DealDash.com has highlighted the top wins for 2013 including a Dyson vacuum won with a final end price of only $0.70 – that’s just seventy bids, a Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone for $0.37 and other great deals.
Check it out! Best DealDash Wins of 2013.
If you are new to DealDash what would you like to see or win in 2014?
So far today, in this new year, bidders have been getting great deals!
An Official MLB w/ display box just sold with no bids.
Schwinn 26-inch Meridian 3-Wheel Bike ended at $3.23 (323 bids),
a 200 bids bid pack for $0.20,

Philips 2000 Series 39-inch Class LED Smart HDTV $2.41 – that’s just $40 in bids spent by all bidders if all bids purchased were at $0.17 each!

Won by first time winner scottam2. Notice how bidders DebbiChan and jwcharles3 seemed to be consistently bidding against one another? Perhaps because soma21jarra came in and placed a bid then jwcharles3 placed one right after, Debbichan or jwcharles3 expected one or the other to place a bid, neither did and new bidder scottam2 bid and won. Congratulations scottam2! Another possibility could be that jwcharles3 and Debbichan were bidding on autobidder and both ran out of bids? Just speculating.
T-Mobile Nokia Lumia Smartphone $1.96 – that’s only 196 bids, and bids are currently $0.17 a piece for New Year’s – $33 spent by all bidders if they purchased bids at $0.17 each. Some bids could’ve been won with bid pack wins, too. So great deal overall.
There’s even a Toshiba Kirabook 13.3-inch Laptop ($1300 value) that ended for $14.72 lastnight.
